Great spot - we’ve stayed here a few times over the years. Booked a room for my older parents who needed some special accommodations and the staff were very helpful. Lovely hotel, great spa, gorgeous views. We come back for a reason.

The room was cozy with a nice bed and fireplace. The ocean view balcony is big and has a great view but the traffic on the freeway kind of spoils the experience. It’s too bad the traffic noise is so loud but the hotel is cute and cozy

Great location on Lillie Ave within walking distance to breakfast and lunch eateries. Great trendy shopping and fabulous bookstore all nearby. Be aware the hotel is near the freeway and rail tracks, as is all of Summerland, so it can be noisy if you leave the window open.

Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!

The property was very nice and the staff that we met were very polite and friendly. We enjoyed our daily breakfast made to order but a small suggestion it would have been great to have had different option of sausage, bacon, ham each day with my omelet but overall, it was a nice addition to the start of our day. We were able enjoy the little wine and cheese tray that they put out, and we arrived back after our day out to enjoy a sweet treat. A nice little touch. I did enjoy my room, and the decor was warm and inviting. We were not able to get a massage at the Inn, but they recommended a Masseuse on State Street which was great! I would recommend the Inn to anyone wanting to stay in a quaint and warm Bed and Breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay here. The room was cute and clean and more than anything the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins playing in the water. Close proximity to Montecito and Santa Barara was also a huge plus for us. Highly recommend.

Nora assisted me by phone and greeted me upon arrival - introducing herself, which was most welcoming! I arrived early and she still quickly showed me to my beautiful room overlooking the ocean. I love it! I’d seen this room on the website and admired it even then. Very happily installed here. Will visit again.

Great location within walking distance to some good food and stores. Only problem was when someone decided to take a bath at midnight. Very loud plumbing. Definitely it drowned out the freeway noise.

The ocean view rooms actually have full on views of the ocean. This is a very quaint and incredibly well located lodge in the area of Summerland. Management is a little bit uptight in terms of process. It could be a turn off to some people. They're not disruptive and they are not invasive. But they will hound you to death in terms of what time you're going to arrive. Also moving rooms or changing rooms with another name is overly complicated. For example a friend I was traveling with had a last-minute job which did not allow them to use their room. They simply wanted to give the room to a friend, but because the room was in their name the hotel made that much more complicated than it needed to be to switch. But I would still recommend this place to everyone. Very clean very well kept in great location.

It’s in a small community with a 10 minute walk or three minute drive to anywhere in the town the beaches all of 15 minutes away if you walk maybe five minutes by car I’ve been in this town before but I’m staying and so far so good I haven’t checked out yet

It’s right by the freeway and loud. Early check in and check out is $25 per hour extra. Even though their website says breakfast is included, it’s not. They did not even want to give us the free coffee in the lobby saying we booked through a third party. We booked through Expedia and it was not cheap at all. For $350 a night, this was not what I expected. Hotel is clean and the room was nice. And the area is also nice.
